Hybrid (UK, 4 HOUR SET) - Classics Tour @ Chinese Laundry

bonez99er · August 7, 2012

The Chinese Laundry Crew are very excited to announce the return to the club of our all time favourite artists - HYBRID - This Saturday August 11th.

To make this one even more special, this event is the exclusive Sydney performance on the Hybrid “Classics” tour, off the back of their new album of the same name - which means all the biggest & best classic Hybrid originals & remixes & with Hybrid playing a 4 hour set sound system set, that means for all those Hybrid fans out there (and we know there are a lot of you) this is going to be one of the not to be missed shows of 2012!!

Trying to think of our all time favourite Hybrid tunes is enough to give you the biggest goose bumps …

For an act as enduring and versatile as Hybrid, with a career that spans more than 13 years and four albums, it should come as little surprise to find that live performance comes in many shapes and sizes. While the full Hybrid Live show has rocked festival stages and concert halls worldwide, with a line-up ranging from the band’s core three members to a full philharmonic orchestra, the Hybrid Soundsystem takes things right back to their gritty roots – one man, at the beating heart of the dancefloor.

But this is not just any DJ set. Already an accomplished DJ in his own right, with the Hybrid Soundsystem Chris Healings takes things one step beyond the turntables, bringing you a whole new way to experience the group’s trademark musical fusion. Whether it’s through brand new productions and remixes, re-edits of classic numbers or tracks taken from their record label Kill City, the Soundsystem show brings you the clubbier side of Hybrid in exactly the way it was always intended, but never before realised.

With a remix résumé featuring the likes of UNKLE, Doves, Guy J, Elite Force, Losers and Radiohead, HSS productions combine energetic drums, sweeping orchestral manoeuvres and snarling, visceral bass to create a sound that’s at once epic and uplifting, yet with a dark, brooding undercurrent. Taking influences from across the dance music spectrum and twisting them into something resolutely fresh and unclassifiable, this is where the boundaries come down and the rulebook lies in tattered remains. Think you know Hybrid? Think again. This is the Hybrid Soundsystem.

In the Laundry we also have up from Melbourne in his first ever appearance for us Stevie Mink
